Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

"how?"

Jasmine stopped walking, but she still didn't turn around or look at Ryan again.

Ryan remained silent. He had blurted it out in a moment of impulsiveness, but there was nothing he could actually do.

This world is an illusion, a dream that doesn't exist.

The jasmine before my eyes is merely a shadow of a shadow.

"I can't get lost here..." Ryan told himself. Once he got lost, he would never wake up again.

"Miss Jasmine."

He thought for a moment and finally said, "This is your overtime pay."

Slender branches, dotted with delicate green leaves, these are branches from the end of March, leaves of spring, and olive branches from a dream—they don't exist, yet they gleam.

In the real world.

In the same place, Ryan found the same bunch of olive branches and gave them to the same girl as her wages.

No matter which world he's in, Ryan will always extend this olive branch to the half-elf lady.

"You guessed right."

"I'm not from here."

"This branch is the only possession I own now. I give you all that I have, this is my last day's wages."

"Even with this, I still hope that you can steal the stars from the sky with me."

...

"The only thing?"

Jasmine accepted the olive branch.

"Aren't you still wearing a shirt?"

And no matter which world it is, the half-elf lady is always so humble.

Ryan sighed.

"Well then," he concluded, "see you tomorrow."

The dagger pierced Ryan's throat. The feeling of suffocation came before the pain. His body gradually grew cold, his consciousness faded, and the world seemed to be tilting towards him.

In his final moments before losing consciousness, he saw Miss Jasmine's back, trembling slightly.

This was his fifth experience of death; it was cold, dark, and all sense of reality was stripped away at this moment.

Main Quest: Steal the Lu Ming Codex

[Four days]

When Ryan opened his eyes again, he saw this message.

Time has indeed moved forward...

The original time limit for the mission was 'three days', but now it has been completely changed to 'four days'.

It was early spring morning, the sunlight outside the window was brilliant, and the ivy was growing wildly on the courtyard wall. Ryan heard a knock at the door.

The door slowly opened, revealing brown deerskin boots, and straight, slender legs that rose up into the black and white butler's skirt.

"Get up, young master Ryan."

Jasmine said expressionlessly, "It's time to steal Lu Ming's Grand Canon!"

Hajime, you rascal, did you go to steal the Lu Ming Grand Canon as soon as you woke up?

The lingering pain of death still clung to Ryan's neck; he was drenched in cold sweat. This thing hurt so much.

Did it end up being completely redesigned as iLaiTV?

Once a believer in death becomes immersed in a fantasy world, they are forever lost and unable to escape.

But with Ryan's level of power, there's no way I'd ever be addicted to him.

Ryan knew he couldn't afford to waste time. He could only jump forward for twelve hours at a time, and the longer he stayed downstream, the more times he would die.

However, this iLaiTV hurts too much.

In particular, he was not very skilled at suicide; he couldn't kill himself instantly and would suffer for quite a while.

In this situation, you should consult an expert first.

"You should get up." A calm voice came from the corner of the bed. Miss Jasmine said softly, "If you don't get up now, you won't be getting out of bed today."

"Miss Jasmine."

Ryan asked seriously, "Is there a way to kill without causing pain... Of course, I'm not saying I want to commit suicide, I just want to deal with the enemy in a more humane way..."

"This is the thousandth time you've asked me this question."

Unexpectedly, Jasmine rolled her eyes.

Hey.

Is there such a thing?

Ryan was dumbfounded.

"Poisoning, lethal injection, and last night I even learned a 'one-second decapitation technique'..."

Jasmine counted on her fingers as she argued with Ryan: "I taught you all the methods of killing that I know, and you still say it's not humane enough."

What exactly did I go through in the past?

Ryan gasped. Had he already tried a thousand ways to die?

"Now that things have come to this, there's only one last resort left." Jasmine sighed, her expression saying, 'I really can't do anything with you.'

"What method?" Ryan asked hurriedly, "Is this really humane? Won't it hurt?"

“It doesn’t hurt,” Jasmine replied. “It feels quite good.”

Ryan was saved from a seemingly hopeless situation. He knew Jasmine had a way out. She truly was a professional, a killer among killers, an assassin among assassins.

"What kind of death?" Ryan asked hopefully.

"Exhausted essence, man, death."

Jasmine looked at him and spoke slowly and deliberately, her face expressionless.

"...I'll choose to take the 'One-Second Decapitation Instant Killing Method' instead."

After a moment of silence, Ryan spoke quietly.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Jasmine."

He glanced at Jasmine one last time, waved goodbye, and said, "See you tomorrow."

Five days

Lu Ming Manor, the back hill.

When I woke up again, I had jumped forward for half a day, and it was already dusk, with brilliant sunset clouds covering the horizon.

The pain of death haunted Ryan like a shadow.

But what's more terrifying than the pain is that emptiness.

A sense of emptiness where nothing exists.

What are you spacing out for?

Miss Jasmine said discontentedly, slapping Ryan hard on the back with her wooden sword: "Didn't you beg me to teach you the 'One-Second Decapitation Instant Kill Technique' this morning?"

"I'm warning you, it's going to get dark soon."

She threatened angrily, "If you still can't learn it, I'm not working overtime today!"

Ryan winced in pain, looking at Miss Jasmine with a hint of reproach. The twilight fell like roses, turning the sky into a sea of ​​flowers, and now there was no sense of emptiness.

All I felt was pure pain.

"Ouch!" Ryan cried out.

"Serves you right." Jasmine snorted. "Who told you you couldn't learn it?"

"I'm not working overtime anymore." She rolled her eyes.

Ryan had no choice but to seize the time to practice his decapitation technique. Although Miss Jasmine was cold-blooded, she was a skilled teacher.

Under the latter's guidance, Ryan trained against a fake humanoid fencing target. He learned that as long as he could sever the fake target's head within one second without the head falling off, he could perform a painless decapitation.

Ryan killed more than a dozen corpses in a row; he was exceptionally talented, and finally succeeded on his last attempt.

But night had already fallen.

The twilight had already faded away.

He practiced for about half an hour.

"Wait a minute." Ryan ran towards the courtyard and returned a while later: "Here you go."

"What?" Jasmine asked.

“Rose,” Ryan replied. “This is your second-to-last day’s pay.”

“Well…” Ryan finally pressed the sword against his neck, paused for a moment, and said, “See you this morning.”

Good morning?

Jasmine couldn't understand what Ryan meant, nor did she have time to.

The 'instant decapitation technique' she taught was so fast that even Miss Jasmine couldn't stop it. Before the blade could even draw blood from the neck and the head could even fall off, Ryan was already standing there unconscious.

As the evening breeze blew, Ryan fell to the ground.

Jasmine lowered her eyes, looking at the pool of blood on the ground, and whispered, "...Why?"

It was just a sigh, a monologue to himself.

Ryan stopped breathing, the world continued to jump forward, and the sigh was swallowed up by the reversed river of time, never to return.

Five days

This morning.

The morning sunlight slanted into the bedroom, and Ryan woke up very early. He touched his neck, and the pain was much less than before when he had attempted suicide. He had basically died before he could even react.

The most exhilarating death I've ever experienced.

But that feeling of emptiness still lingers, like a venomous snake.

Creak—the door was pushed open.

The girl was like the sunshine of early spring.

"Good morning."

Ryan opened his lips, but spoke somewhat hesitantly.

He lowered his head, tried for a moment, and then smiled.

"Miss Jasmine."

"Can you teach me the 'one-second decapitation technique' tonight?"

"Of course, I want to execute the enemy in a more humane way."
